To my dear Sister Handy and fam- 1 Uy: 1 am using this method of express ing my sincere regret for not being able to officiate witn Rev. Williams in paying the last earthly tribute to my friend for many years. But our own brother Alfred Clay who is a staunch friend of brother Handy's has constented to act as a substitute tor me upon this occasion, which is highly appreciated on my part and readily accepted by the family. I am summoned to Lincoln to conduct a luneral of one of the old pioneers of the AE. church at this same hour, with whom I have been her spiritual • adviser and helper for many years, ■ and the request is of long standing. In closing I am extending publicly my heartfelt sympathy for the prec ious wife and remaining part of the family, but I also know that words are but feeble instruments to convey sympathy upon an occasion of this kind. So I therefore recommend to the wife and remaining family the Father of all the universe who does all things well. For in Him only can you find consolation in this hour of grief. But you must remember— That the clock of life, ! Is wound but once and no man has the power, To tell just when those hands shall stop, At a late or earthly hour. Now is the only time we own, So let us work for Christ and pray with a will, For tomorrow these hands may » be still. Yours in loving kindness, Brother Burckhardt, Pastor of.
